----Imagine if that bubble was on the inside. You might not have seen it until it was too late. I'm going to look over all my tires as soon as I'm home. Scary!!!!!!!........Bill S

^ I was thinking the same thing. Could have gotten ugly real quick. Maybe i have been living under a rock but what exactly is a &quot;road force&quot; balance? Thanks for enlightening me.

&quot;Road Force Balance&quot; is the only tire balance that can tell a bad tire.

I had the same thing happen to a set of old bias plys I had on my unrestored '63. I put them all in the trash.

Paul knows a thing or two about these high tech machines. Carpet rides were the word that the customers used to describe the feel of the car after them being road forced balanced correctly. There are some that are better then others when using this machine.

I too thought that. My Cokers are almost ten years old so I'm going to jack the car up this weekend and have a look.
